Vospominanie o Varlamove
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ach! Davno l', duša-solovuško,
Ty nam pesni raspeval,
A teper' ponik golovuškoj
I naveki zamolčal!..

Mnogo v pesnjach bylo sladosti
U solovuški-pevca;
Malo v žizni znal on radosti
Do poslednego konca...

Žizn' ego byla b prekrasnoju,
Esli b žil on, a ne pel,
No s dušoju pylkoj, strastnoju
Kto sčastlivym byt' umel!..

On stradal toskoj bezvestnoju
V tajne serdca svoego,
Melancholiej čudesnoju
Dyšat pesni vse ego!..

Zaunyvnye, plačevnye,
Budto zvuki s nebesi –
Ėti pesni zaduševnye
Ne umolknut na Rusi!
